The Afghan government meanwhile is condemning a U.S.-led NATO night raid that killed two people in the capital of Kabul. U.S. officials say NATO forces targeted a building based on credible intelligence on militant activity. But the Afghan government says two security guards were killed without provocation after foreign troops surrounded the compound. Afghan presidential spokesperson Waheed Omer criticized the attack.

Waheed Omer: “This was an irresponsible way of dealing with an issue within the Kabul city, and that was clearly conveyed and that was discussed yesterday between us, our security council, and the commander of NATO and other colleagues from international community yesterday.”
